Chapter 1725: Side Story for the Juniors (9) He Said: To Make It Up to You, All My Time Is Yours

Jiang Ruan was already beautiful, and today she wore a rather bright lotus pink modified qipao, which immediately caught Yan Chi’s eye as he walked out of the elevator.

The overall decor style of the Yan lobby was predominantly dark.

Suddenly, amid the dim surroundings, a strikingly eye-catching vivid color appeared, making it hard to ignore.

Their eyes met suddenly—

One had a rare cold and stern expression, while the other was as brilliant as summer blooms and autumn sunshine.

Jiang Ruan smiled at him politely but, raising her eyes, she collided with his gaze, dark as the night.

This man...

Long eyebrows, black eyes, a prominent nose, thin lips, everything about him, including his gaze, seemed aggressive and invasive.

There was a sense of deadly danger about him, making it clear to anyone that a person like this should not be easily approached.

"Who is that?" Yan Chi inquired.

"Not sure, should I ask? Could be a client." The Yan Family had always had a high-end jewelry customization business, but dealing with clients was naturally not something Yan Chi needed to handle.

"No need to ask." Yan Chi shifted his gaze from Jiang Ruan and prepared to head towards the front door.

"The car is already parked at the entrance."

...

Jiang Ruan originally thought he was coming to pick her up, but in the end...

He looked at her briefly and then left!

He really left!

He even walked around her to leave, without coming over to say a word of greeting.

What kind of situation is this?

Jiang Ruan wasn’t someone with a particularly bad temper, but this kind of behavior was a bit over the line.

She frowned, unable to care about much else at the moment, quickly walking a few steps to chase after him.

"Hey—" The security guard in the Yan lobby saw what was happening and hurriedly prepared to block her.

The commotion behind caused Yan Chi to notice, and he turned his head to glance backward, only to find the little girl in the qipao had followed him out. He scrutinized her with a blank expression.

"Senior Yan, I’m from the student council responsible for interviewing you."

Yan Chi was expressionless, though inwardly slightly surprised:

Why is she a junior?

"Didn’t we agree on Friday at ten?" Jiang Ruan reminded him, staring at him, and then Yan Chi said with one sentence:

"You’re late."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

I arrived fifteen minutes early, and you say I’m late?

Yan Chi, you have no heart!

Yan Chi thought this junior was rather pretty, but being late for such a thing couldn’t be glossed over with a good-looking face. He believed that for agreed matters, unless there’s a special reason, being late and not sending a message or calling to explain the situation was a serious principle issue.

Good looks without principles, none of it works for him.

So after he finished speaking, he turned around and planned to leave.

Jiang Ruan could accept criticism. If she were really late, she would apologize, but she couldn’t stand being accused for no reason. She gritted her teeth, "I wasn’t late!"

Yan Chi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, "It’s already ten fifteen now."

"I arrived at nine fifty. Your company’s front desk asked me to wait. I thought you were busy. It’s you who didn’t honor our agreed time, not trustworthy, and without principles. It’s not my fault."

Jiang Ruan felt that the interview wasn’t important, but she couldn’t be wrongfully accused.

"What did you say? I lack principles?" Yan Chi sneered lightly, while the secretary at his side nervously glanced at the front desk reception, the few people feeling guilty, because they had indeed received the call but didn’t let her in.

"There’s surveillance in the lobby. If you don’t believe me, you can check it." Jiang Ruan didn’t lie; naturally, she wasn’t afraid.

Yan Chi glanced at the handful of front desk receptionists, who lowered their heads, afraid to speak, and he roughly understood the situation in his heart.

Looking at Jiang Ruan, his eyes were inexplicably meaningful.

Yan Chi was the Yan family’s child born late in life. Although his father was strict, he was also spoilt. Mainly due to being the child born late, he was relatively young but held high seniority. Coupled with having older parents, he matured and became wise earlier than his peers. Thus, he was accustomed to holding a strong demeanor.

Now...

To be confronted by a little girl accusing him of having no principles!

That was indeed a first.

After Jiang Ruan finished speaking, she didn’t expect to continue the interview, but she wasn’t afraid of Yan Chi. After all, she had many uncles with even stronger auras around her. She hadn’t done anything wrong, so naturally, she wasn’t flustered.

Only suddenly Yan Chi walked two steps toward her, which made her a little nervous...

He was nearly one meter ninety in height, exerting a strong sense of oppression as his tall figure loomed over, and being on his turf, Jiang Ruan indeed felt somewhat uncertain deep down.

Yan Chi likely noticed she was a bit scared but still had a stubborn face.

When they were only two steps away, he said softly:

"It’s my fault, sorry."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Honestly, Jiang Ruan was indeed a bit taken aback.

He actually admitted he was wrong? Then she seemed to have no need to bother over every detail, lightly coughing, "No, no problem."

"I wasted your time. Do you still have time for the interview today? If not, I can come to your school another day." Yan Chi wasn’t the type to recognize an error and not acknowledge it.

Today’s interview time had already been delayed. If Jiang Ruan had other arrangements, he couldn’t possibly hold her back, so he proposed two solutions.

Jiang Ruan had heard rumors, saying he was cold and indifferent, yet hearing him offer a way to handle the situation, she admired it quite a bit.

Admitting mistakes, not avoiding responsibility, and quickly suggesting a solution.

It fully showed he was a very responsible person.

"I have time today." Jiang Ruan answered.

"Then let’s go to my office first."

"Okay." Jiang Ruan nodded, "Do you have no other arrangements? Won’t it interfere with your work?"

"No."

Jiang Ruan glanced at the car parked outside, thinking he had other plans.

Yan Chi eyed the car outside from the corner of his eye, then looked at Jiang Ruan, "I thought you were late, so I was preparing to go home. The other plans for this morning had long been postponed, all the time..."

"Is reserved for you."

Though today’s incident wasn’t entirely Yan Chi’s fault, it was related to him, so he...

ought to make it up to her.

Leave all the time for her.

Jiang Ruan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She felt that these words... made her heart feel like it was brushed by something, rapidly beating, annoyingly uncomfortable.
